fix(ci): use github.token instead of secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN for gh CLI#51
Conversation
The gh CLI in GitHub Actions requires GH_TOKEN to be set to github.token rather than secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN. This was causing the release workflow to fail with exit code 4 when attempting to create draft releases. Fixes the error: "gh: To use GitHub CLI in a GitHub Actions workflow, set the GH_TOKEN environment variable." Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
